Em and Dan decided to do things their own way and show their commitment to each other with a gorgeous ceremony and rocking party at the Fairfield Boathouse with no involvement of God or government. In the lead up to their big day friends and family asked them why they were going to the trouble of planning a wedding if it wasn't going to be legally recognised, but on the day there was no questioning their devotion to each other. I love this notion - that love transcends tradition or legalities - and all that matters is the bond between 2 people. It's really as simple as that.
